Summary: Equilibrium is a blog-oriented skin, with a focus on simplicity. Along with the typical sidebar and top navigation tabs, this skin presents blog summaries in column oriented, rather than the traditional vertical layout.

Color Picker

Equilibrium is a blog-oriented skin, with a focus on simplicity. Along with the typical sidebar and top navigation tabs, this skin presents blog summaries in column oriented, rather than the traditional vertical layout. Although primarily two-tone, the skin has a selection of color options, with full support for the BlogIt blogging engine (BlogIt is not required in order to use this skin). If you use BlogIt you can display a cover image on the blog-summary page.

Feature Summary

Customizable: Main sections (headers, sidebar, and tabs) of the page are stored as wiki pages, so you don't need to know HTML.

Adds full support for BlogIt, a blogging engine for PmWiki. This means that your elements of the blog page will seamlessly fit within the skin. BlogIt is not required, but in this case it's highly recommended if you wan to achieve the look in the snapshot on the right. If you're not using BlogIt the skin will work fine, but you won't get the column based front-page layout, nor the cover-images on the blog-summary -- things won't look like the image on the right.

Adding Blog Entry Cover Images

Cover images are displayed when using BlogIt, for each blog entry within 'latest' and 'featured' sections. The cover image will not be displayed on the main blog entry page -- but you can display it yourself.

In order to add a cover image to the blog entry in blog summary mode, add this to your blog entry:

(:featured_image:Attach:walle.jpg:)

You can also refer direct to a url:

(:featured_image:http://my.domain.com/mypic.jpg:)

If you'd like to see the image within the entry itself then, use the PTV, with some styling -- the example below will float the image to the right:

%rfloat%{$:featured_image}

Page Layout

Blue: Included pages. These can be edited as normal PmWiki pages.

Green: PmWiki variables. Usually set in config.php.

Red: Disable section. Markup is for in-page use; SetTmplDisplay is for use in config.php.

Sections can be removed from the page or the site with special markup.

Turn off sections on a page with markup (:noXXX:).

Turn off sections for the whole site in config.php by setting:

SetTmplDisplay('PageXXXFmt', 0);

Header

You can set the Title and the Tag-line by setting the following in config.php:

$WikiTitle = "My site";
$WikiTag = "Site description";

The wiki file Site.SiteHeader can be overridden with a Group level page. If you want to change the layout of the header edit either {$Group}.SiteHeader or {$SiteGroup}.SiteHeader. The default value for the header is:

1.0.0 (12-Jul-2009)

This release changes the way in which headers, footers, sidebar, and site tabs are implemented. This means that if you are upgrading from a previous version and you are using either a Site or Group SkinCommonReleaseNotice-SiteHeader, SkinCommonReleaseNotice-SiteFooter, SkinCommonReleaseNotice-SiteNav, or SkinCommonReleaseNotice-SideBar then you will need copy your page content to the equivalent Site or Group SiteHeader, SiteFooter, SiteNav, or SideBar instead.

It is no longer necessary to include the markup expression definition. This may be removed from config.php:

new: $MarkupExpr['mod'] is now part of skin, no need to include in config.php

new: Added <!--HTMLFooter--> to footer.

new: Added $WikiTag element for site description.

chg: Header now uses Skins.SiteHeader Site.SiteHeader, and is standard format. NOTE: This changes the way in which the site header is stored (uses WikiTitle and PageLogoUrl).
